Saving Worms

The story is set in the summer of 2009. A time of innocence, unity, and gender inflexibility, when a girl was a girl, and a boy was . . . well, mostly a boy . . . It should have been a simple story: quirky boy meets delectable yet mysterious girl, and boy stumbles haplessly in love. Except, this forty-two year old boy has a humiliating secret. Although its inevitable discovery should lead to just one of two definitive outcomes, in the befuddled world of Adam Bennett the scenarios are boundless. Saving Worms is a romantic comedy that journeys from the historical streets of York in North Yorkshire, to feisty Blackpool, and then the tranquillity of Germany’s Black Forest. And yet, ultimately, Adam’s destiny will balance precariously on the whim of a Chihuahua, the intriguing Mr Darcy, and the foreboding cravings of the voluptuous Little Red Riding Hood.
